Aristotle, Plato, and Socrates would approve of the occupation. What is happening there is a form of justice. Hobbes would also believed the occupation to be necessary for the Jews, for it ensures their survival. And as Hobbes has defined, life is an inalienable right that no one can unjustly take from someone else and that even extreme measures have to be taken to ensure life is preserved. The only one that would disagreed would be Rousseau, probably blathering on the natural and moral inequalities that the Palestinians face from the superior Jews.
